Editorial Review: Description: Paralyzed with post-graduation ennui, a group of college friends remain on campus, patching together a community for themselves in order to deny the real-world futures awaiting them. Academy Award–nominated screenwriter Noah Baumbach’s hilarious and touching directorial debut was one of the highlights of the American independent film scene of the nineties, speaking directly to a generation of adults-to-be unable to reconcile their hermetic education experience with workaday responsibility, and posing the eternal question, "Where do we go from here?" Stingingly funny and incisive, Baumbach’s breakthrough features endlessly quotable dialogue delivered by a stellar ensemble cast. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - This is a gem, don't miss itThere is a certain quality about this film which makes it watchable over and over again. I think it has to do with the success of the flashback sequences providing just enough overlap of weaving the story and the characters together. There is cleverness and a humble attention to human reality that just packs every little scene - you can watch this totally out of sequence and still enjoy it. I don't think it has anything to do with the post-college setting, it has more to do with the universal nature ...

On paper, this film's premise seems exciting, daring even, but on film Kicking and Screaming is simply another post-college drag. At an hour an a half this movies seems a semester long - as long as it takes the protagonist to realize he can't skip in time - whether backward or forward. This film contains a poignant supporting ... Read More Rating: - Baumbach's First GreatI had never seen this movie prior to buying it. Therefore, as someone who did no "grow up with this" movie, I would like to note why I did go into this movie. First, I am a huge fan of Baumbach's two most recent films. Second, I am a sucker for any DVD stamped with the Criterion Collection. Third, its a Criterion movie under $20, nearly impossible for those Criterion fans who know. As for my thoughts, the movie is a wonderful snapshot of the lives of a group of people who have just finished ... Read More Rating: - What Did I MissThis is arguable the most boring movie I have ever seen. In all honesty this review only covers the first ¾ of the movie due to the fact I had to turn it off. I don't know if it was just bad acting, a bad script or uninspiring direction - actually it was all of the above. I have read other reviews and keep asking myself - did we watch the same movie? This high school project of a movie will be bundled with Catwomen, Gigli, and Norbit. (I hope I can get $1 for all these paper weights). If you want to ...
